I JUST DO NOT CARE!

I was at Pick ‘n Pay over the weekend and as I was walking through the isles doing a bit of grocery shopping, I remember walking by the toy section where a father and son spent time arguing over whether or not a particular toy was necessary for the child to have.

The father looked very angry and quickly responded to his screaming child saying, “I DO NOT CARE!”

Imagine the predicament...

-          The child only understood that the toy is what he wanted

-          The parent wanting to give his child everything he wants in life but having to make the decision of whether it is needed or not

-          The parent working hard in the back end to ensure that the needs for the child are taken care of but still having to put up with a performance in a public place

 

1.       Have you found yourself in a situation like this before?

2.       Have you every said the words “I DO NOT CARE”

3.       Did you walk away from someone that was in need?

4.       Did you place your own wants before the needs of another?

5.       Where you ever frustrated to the point where you got angry?

 

-          The fact that there is an emotion link to that very statement means that you do care.

-          You were genetically created to care for the people around

-          God did not say you have to like them first before you care for them

-          He did not say that they need to have a nice car before you greet them, He did not say they had to wear the same clothes as you, He did not say that they have to have the latest cell phone out, speak in a certain way or look a certain way.

He said:

JAMES 2:14 – 17

14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 

15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 

16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 

17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

He goes one step further to say:

Philippians 4:19 

And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

-          The scripture is so clear in how we should execute our role as Christians

-          We should always be the arms and legs of Christ

-          Before doing that though, we must ready our hearts for what God intends us to do

-          Then we must move

-          Also, whatever your own induvial needs are already being taken care of by God

-          He will take care of it all if we are disciplined to His will for our lives
